For transporting 2 men's bikes and a woman's bike, I recommend the Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803. The reason why is because it is very easy to make adjustments for sizing on your 2008 Nissan Altima (sedan with spoiler). Also, in addition to the 35-pound per-bike weight capacity, it comes with arms that are conveniently spaced 6-1/2 inches apart for easy loading. To add extra theft deterrence to the Bones EX 3, you need the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 and the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533.
As for the woman's bike, you will need to purchase a bike frame adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter # 64005.
